Ashanti's 'The Vault' Features 12 Never Before Released Recordings
September 14th, 2008 7:30pm EDT Post a comment Read 2 comments

AshantiRing the alarm. The Vault is being opened. It holds 12 never-before-released recordings from Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling R&B songstress Ashanti. The Vault will be released October 14th by AJM Records.

The Vault contains vocal recordings penned by Ashanti in 2001 while signed exclusively to AJM Records. This composite of work was completed before AJM's joint venture with Murder Inc/Def Jam in 2002.

Top notch producers added the finishing touches to The Vault, including 15-year-old producing wunderkind Miguel "Migs" Baeza. Migs produced the first single set to drop from The Vault, "Let's Do Something Crazy". For the cut, Migs brought in hip-hop superstar Flo-Rida to drop a few rhymes, making "Let's Do Something Crazy" a sure hit. "Although the track is not like any other Ashanti song heard before, I tried to please her already established fan base by maintaining the classic Ashanti style while at the same time indulging a new audience with an upbeat, exciting feel on this upcoming single", says Migs. Migs also worked his magic on the irresistible "Satisfy", another track from The Vault.

Other producers on the album include Kidd Kold AJM's in-house producer who is responsible for the 2nd single "Imagine". Kidd has produced 8 tracks on The Vault and has worked with DMX and Foxy Brown. Additional producers include Nocko, Steven White and Kenny Flav. Nocko is no stranger to hit makers. He has worked with countless top artists like Mary J. Blige, T.I., Trina, LilMo, Monica, Teddy Riley, Ludacris, Nelly, and Rick Ross. This dream team of producers has turned The Vault into a must have treasure.

Get ready to discover the treasure of Ashanti: The Vault. Its musical gems are priceless recordings.

She deserves one of these:



You only had five hits. And most of them were featured hooks!

ROFL


most of her songs sounded like she was in the vocal booth like "ughh come on irv i dont wanna do this no more i wanna go to taco bell!"

Christopher said:

LoLz! ... seriously though, if ya dig his work, then the following reissue is worth to check.
His debut-album from around 1985, which has some solid cuts imo :



01. Just Another Lover
02. Can't Get Enough
03. Anything Worth Having (is Worth Waiting For)
04. Lady In The Shadow
05. Bring Your Love Around
06. Cover Girl
07. All Night
08. Penthouse Lover
Bonus Track:
09. Just Got Paid - Dub Mix

Samples can be heard in this link :

www.vinyl-masterpiece.com...hnny-Kemp/

Some of those albumtracks appeal more to me then the overplayed "Just Got Paid"
which i still kinda dig, and which one is the most known track to the majority.

2 clips from that album :

"Just Another Lover" (1985 / has a Kashif-vibe)



"Cover Girl" (1985)

Question: If an album is titled "The Vault" and is meant to be a compilation of unreleased stuff, why does it have two "singles" already?

It's really over for her, I guess. Donna Summer and other beloved artists with years of recordings sitting and collecting dust won't open their vaults (although credit to Bruce Springsteen, who did and included his own version of "Protection")...but Ashanti does!

VinnyM27 said:

Maybe the vault was empty after recording them on the CD, so they had to fill in the blanks ?

Timmy84 said:

That's no lie. Ashanti is so 2002. NEXT!

they have got to be kidding? there are so many legendary artists in the business with tons of unreleased material and some dim-wit saw fit to do this kind of project for Ashanti????

Ashanti isnt the one releasing the compilation - her old record label is (the one she was with before she signed to Murder Inc.)

VinnyM27 said:

The only reason this is being released because she got sued and the verdict was that she had to pay a quarter of a million dollars and release this Vault foolishness.

I think priceless means "ain't worth shit"

ABeautifulOne said:

Attempting to release singles, though, sounds foolish as hell! They won't be any videos, I assume. No real promotion. Just aim for hardcore fans (if there are really any left).

bboy87 said:

i'm invaluable

Considering on this forum ive seen debates over how their should be re-issues and vault tracks from Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 , is it that much of a stretch for an Ashanti vault??? BTW 99% of this cd is SLOW, the reason for it being shelved.

I just peed on myself.

Vendetta1 said:
